o Create directory sys/netpfil, where all packet filters should
reside, and move there ipfw(4) and pf(4).

o Move most modified parts of pf out of contrib.

Actual movements:

sys/contrib/pf/net/*.c -> sys/netpfil/pf/
sys/contrib/pf/net/*.h -> sys/net/
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.c -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.h -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/pfctl.8 -> sbin/pfctl
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.4 -> share/man/man4
contrib/pf/pfctl/*.5 -> share/man/man5

sys/netinet/ipfw -> sys/netpfil/ipfw

The arguable movement is pf/net/*.h -> sys/net. There are
future plans to refactor pf includes, so I decided not to
break things twice.

Not modified bits of pf left in contrib: authpf, ftp-proxy,
tftp-proxy, pflogd.

The ipfw(4) movement is planned to be merged to stable/9,
to make head and stable match.

Always use the opt_*.h options for ipfw.ko, not just when
compiled into the kernel.
Do not try to build the module in case of no INET support but
keep #error calls for now in case we would compile it into the
kernel.

This should fix an issue where the module would fail to enable
IPv6 support from the rc framework, but also other INET and INET6
parts being silently compiled out without giving a warning in the
module case.

While here garbage collect unneeded opt_*.h includes.
opt_ipdn.h is not used anywhere but we need to leave the DUMMYNET
entry in options for conditional inclusion in kernel so keep the
file with the same name.

Unbreak no-ip and no-inet6 module builds with ipfw. For now continue to
build the ip_fw_pfil.c hooks and ipfw even in case of no-ip under the
assumption that the private L2 hook (which hopefully eventually will be a
pfil hook as well) can still be useful.

Allow building the module without inet as well.

Allow the ipfw.ko module built with a kernel to honor any IPFIREWALL_*
options defined in the kernel config. This more closely matches the
behavior of other modules which inherit configuration settings from the
kernel configuration during a kernel + modules build.

Now that ipfw is split into multiple files, we need
to list them all in the Makefile for the module,
otherwise it won't load due to missing symbols.

The problem only affected head with ipfw built as a module.

After r193232 rt_tables in vnet.h are no longer indirectly dependent on
the ROUTETABLES kernel option thus there is no need to include opt_route.h
anymore in all consumers of vnet.h and no longer depend on it for module
builds.

Remove the hidden include in flowtable.h as well and leave the two
explicit #includes in ip_input.c and ip_output.c.

move kernel ipfw-related sources to a separate directory,
adjust conf/files and modules' Makefiles accordingly.

No code or ABI changes so this and most of previous related
changes can be easily MFC'ed

MFC after: 5 days

Rather than using hidden includes (with cicular dependencies),
directly include only the header files needed. This reduces the
unneeded spamming of various headers into lots of files.

For now, this leaves us with very few modules including vnet.h
and thus needing to depend on opt_route.h.

Introduce a new entry point, mac_create_mbuf_from_firewall. This entry point
exists to allow the mandatory access control policy to properly initialize
mbufs generated by the firewall. An example where this might happen is keep
alive packets, or ICMP error packets in response to other packets.

This takes care of kernel panics associated with un-initialize mbuf labels
when the firewall generates packets.

[1] I modified this patch from it's original version, the initial patch
introduced a number of entry points which were programmatically
equivalent. So I introduced only one. Instead, we should leverage
mac_create_mbuf_netlayer() which is used for similar situations,
an example being icmp_error()

This will minimize the impact associated with the MFC

Convert ipfw to use PFIL_HOOKS. This is change is transparent to userland
and preserves the ipfw ABI. The ipfw core packet inspection and filtering
functions have not been changed, only how ipfw is invoked is different.

However there are many changes how ipfw is and its add-on's are handled:

In general ipfw is now called through the PFIL_HOOKS and most associated
magic, that was in ip_input() or ip_output() previously, is now done in
ipfw_check_[in|out]() in the ipfw PFIL handler.

IPDIVERT is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers. A packet to
be diverted is checked if it is fragmented, if yes, ip_reass() gets in for
reassembly. If not, or all fragments arrived and the packet is complete,
divert_packet is called directly. For 'tee' no reassembly attempt is made
and a copy of the packet is sent to the divert socket unmodified. The
original packet continues its way through ip_input/output().

ipfw 'forward' is done via m_tag's. The ipfw PFIL handlers tag the packet
with the new destination sockaddr_in. A check if the new destination is a
local IP address is made and the m_flags are set appropriately. ip_input()
and ip_output() have some more work to do here. For ip_input() the m_flags
are checked and a packet for us is directly sent to the 'ours' section for
further processing. Destination changes on the input path are only tagged
and the 'srcrt' flag to ip_forward() is set to disable destination checks
and ICMP replies at this stage. The tag is going to be handled on output.
ip_output() again checks for m_flags and the 'ours' tag. If found, the
packet will be dropped back to the IP netisr where it is going to be picked
up by ip_input() again and the directly sent to the 'ours' section. When
only the destination changes, the route's 'dst' is overwritten with the
new destination from the forward m_tag. Then it jumps back at the route
lookup again and skips the firewall check because it has been marked with
M_SKIP_FIREWALL. ipfw 'forward' has to be compiled into the kernel with
'option IPFIREWALL_FORWARD' to enable it.

DUMMYNET is entirely handled within the ipfw PFIL handlers. A packet for
a dummynet pipe or queue is directly sent to dummynet_io(). Dummynet will
then inject it back into ip_input/ip_output() after it has served its time.
Dummynet packets are tagged and will continue from the next rule when they
hit the ipfw PFIL handlers again after re-injection.

BRIDGING and IPFW_ETHER are not changed yet and use ipfw_chk() directly as
they did before. Later this will be changed to dedicated ETHER PFIL_HOOKS.

More detailed changes to the code:

conf/files
Add netinet/ip_fw_pfil.c.

conf/options
Add IPFIREWALL_FORWARD option.

modules/ipfw/Makefile
Add ip_fw_pfil.c.

net/bridge.c
Disable PFIL_HOOKS if ipfw for bridging is active. Bridging ipfw
is still directly invoked to handle layer2 headers and packets would
get a double ipfw when run through PFIL_HOOKS as well.

netinet/ip_divert.c
Removed divert_clone() function. It is no longer used.

netinet/ip_dummynet.[ch]
Neither the route 'ro' nor the destination 'dst' need to be stored
while in dummynet transit. Structure members and associated macros
are removed.

netinet/ip_fastfwd.c
Removed all direct ipfw handling code and replace it with the new
'ipfw forward' handling code.

netinet/ip_fw.h
Removed 'ro' and 'dst' from struct ip_fw_args.

netinet/ip_fw2.c
(Re)moved some global variables and the module handling.

netinet/ip_fw_pfil.c
New file containing the ipfw PFIL handlers and module initialization.

netinet/ip_input.c
Removed all direct ipfw handling code and replace it with the new
'ipfw forward' handling code. ip_forward() does not longer require
the 'next_hop' struct sockaddr_in argument. Disable early checks
if 'srcrt' is set.

netinet/ip_output.c
Removed all direct ipfw handling code and replace it with the new
'ipfw forward' handling code.

netinet/ip_var.h
Add ip_reass() as general function. (Used from ipfw PFIL handlers
for IPDIVERT.)

netinet/raw_ip.c
Directly check if ipfw and dummynet control pointers are active.

netinet/tcp_input.c
Rework the 'ipfw forward' to local code to work with the new way of
forward tags.

netinet/tcp_sack.c
Remove include 'opt_ipfw.h' which is not needed here.

sys/mbuf.h
Remove m_claim_next() macro which was exclusively for ipfw 'forward'
and is no longer needed.

59951 04-May-2000 peter

Pull in sys/conf/kmod.mk, rather than /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk.
This means that the kernel can be totally self contained now and is not
dependent on the last buildworld to update /usr/share/mk. This might
also make it easier to build 5.x kernels on 4.0 boxes etc, assuming
gensetdefs and config(8) are updated.

Use IPFIREWALL_MODULE instead of ACTUALLY_LKM_NOT_KERNEL to indicate
LKM'ness. ACTUALLY_LKM_NOT_KERNEL is supposed to be so ugly that it
only gets used until <machine/conf.h> goes away. bsd.kmod.mk should
define a better-named general macro for this. Some places use
PSEUDO_LKM. This is another bad name.

Added IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT option (commented out).

Firewall can be used as lkm module.To use it
firewall should *NOT* be compiled into kernel.
Then it can be loaded.This is misc module but i'v
got no problemms with it,so shouldn't you i suppose..
BTW this is very stupid to have one module in CVS
for ALL lkm's...
